Not sure what you mean exactly.

In battle, the actual speed and maneuverability of your mount are affected by your riding skill.

On the map, speed is affected by several factors (the speed of your slowest party members, the size of your inventory, pathfinding skill etc).
You can improve your speed on the map to a point by placing 'extra' horses in your inventory.

I bet the horse was lamed. If your horse is knocked out in a fight, there's a chance it will get the "lame" attribute which decreases it's stats quite a bit. After many many days the horse will heal back to normal status, but will no longer have any modifiers it originally had (spirited, heavy, swaybacked, etc.).
Might just want to sell it and get another horse.

Ive never noticed riding making a difference actually.
Admittedly i haven't tested it though.
If in battle it says your horse is crippled it means its now lame , happens on occasion if it gets killed in battle , or almost always if you jump off a hill and it dies.

Riding does have an effect, although it is incredibly slight.

It appears to improve acceleration time, turning circle and also seems to allow you to couch quicker (though this is probably due to the faster acceleration).
On the map, it looks like it adds .1 speed per 2-3 levels.
